Fire Door Inspection Report Dashboard
A clear inspection report dashboard helps duty holders review fire door condition across a building or portfolio — with door references, defect categories, evidence photos and remedial priorities in one structured view. This is the reporting format customers receive after inspection, not a routine property-team checklist.
Defect Overview
What Is an Inspection Report Dashboard?
A dashboard is a structured report view summarising inspection findings, defect categories, door references, evidence photos, remedial priorities and status tracking.
For property managers, landlords, facilities managers and responsible persons, clear reporting helps turn inspection findings into practical remedial planning across single buildings or portfolios.

Remedial Planning
What Should Be Done Next?
The next action depends on inspection findings, building type and remedial capacity. A clear dashboard helps turn report data into structured follow-up.
Recommended next steps may include:
- Review the inspection summary
- Check high-priority defects first
- Assign remedial actions to suitable contractors
- Update records when works are completed
- Reinspect or close out items where required
After reviewing findings, property teams may need remedial works support, a follow-up inspection, or guidance on next steps after defects are found.
